    Resolved [RESOLVED] Silverlight tool tip for Line Series Chart

    HI Guys,

    Anyone know of a good tutorial about setting up the tool tip for a line series chart? I'd also take a simple example. I have looked around and I can't find anything that makes any sense. I want my tooltip to have both the x and y axis values.

    It has the y-axis value as default, but can't seem to figure out how to add the x-axis. I would think it would be easy.

    I figured it out
    I ended up using Delay's blog.

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/delay/archiv...-charting.aspx

    The only thing I did a little bit different is after you take the default template off here:

    http://silverlight.codeplex.com/Sour...w/18791#507649

    Stick the whole thing in the

    <Application.Resources>

    </Application.Resources>

    section of the app.xaml page. but you need to give it a name. Change line

    <Style TargetType="charting:LineDataPoint"> in the defualt template to something like this

    <Style x:Key="MyLineDataPointStyle"

    So when you put this:

    <charting:Chart
    Title="Custom ToolTip">
    <charting:ColumnSeries
    ItemsSource="{Binding}"
    DependentValueBinding="{Binding Length}"
    IndependentValueBinding="{Binding}"
    DataPointStyle="{StaticResource MyColumnDataPointStyle}"/>
    </charting:Chart>

    On your mainpage.xaml The datapointstyle has something to reference. Now you can change the
    tool tip on the app.xaml page to anything your heart desires.
